Association between medication adherence and health-related quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the prominent cause of mortality worldwide. Nowadays, the level of medication adherence in COPD patients is very low, which reduces the clinical therapeutic effects. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the rela...
